What Purchasers Say- 



About Hood Farm Stock. 



The Hood Farm Jersey Stock is of such intrinsic merit that every pur- 
chaser is sure of receiving' real value for his money. Read these letters: — 



From Vanderbilt's Farm. 

" Idlehour Farm, W. K. Vanderbilt, Prop. 
"Oakdale Station, N. Y., July 16, 1895. 
" Mr. C. I. Hood, Lowell, Mass. : 

"Dear Sir: — Jubilee's Harry has developed 
into a very fine bull, and we are very much 
pleased with him and his calves. We are hoping 
to have some very fine butter cows from him. 
Some of our cows test on an average through 
the year 12 1-4 lbs. per week." 

L. L. Hoi/laday, Superintendent. 

Benito of Bound Brook. 

" Hurleyville, N. Y., June 22, 1895. 
"C. I. Hood, Esq., Lowell, Mass.: 

" Dear Sir : —Benito of Bound Brook, the bull 
I bought of you, was one year old on the 17th of 
this month and he weighed 600 pounds. The 
farmers hereabouts are delighted with him, and 
think you will hear from some of them next 
year." F. P. Blake, 

Manager Cold Spring Creamery. 

A Fair Sample from Hood Farm. 

" Prairie du Rocher, 111., June 21, 1895. 
" C. I. Hood, Esq., Lowell, Mass. : 

" Dear Sir :— The bull calf, Shrine's Son, bought 
at Hood Farm, arrived yesterday at 4 p. m. The 
calf is all right and a beauty. If Shrine's Son is 
a fair sample of the Jerseys you are shipping 
from Hood Farm, I don't think you would have 
any trouble in satisfying any intending pur- 
chaser." "W. H. Conner. 

One of the Best. 

" Connecticut River Lumber Co., 

" Fiske Building, 89 State St., Boston. 
" Mr. C. I. Hood, Lowell, Mass. : 

" Dear Sir : — I am much pleased with Golden 

Bow, and he has done first rate. Every one who 

has seen him, including several good cattle men, 

call him one of the best bulls they ever saw." 

George Van Dyke. 

Oneida's Combination. 

" Milwaukee, Wis., July 13, 1895. 
" Mr. C. I. Hood, Lowell, Mass. : 

"Dear Sir: — It affords me much pleasure to 
assure you that Oneida's Combination, which I 
bought of you last year, has not only met, but, 
from present indications, bids fair to exceed our 
most exacting expectations. To you this state- 
ment may appear somewhat extravagant from 
the fact that his pedigree would encourage one 
to look for an animal of superior merit. That 
I do not overestimate him you will, no doubt, 
more easily credit, when I state that two of our 
prominent dairymen have already requested the 
refusal of him whenever I shall decide to fill his 



place. If his get fail to develop exceptional 
good qiialities it will not be because their sire is 
lacking in traditional fine points." 

Mrs. Ada F. Howie, 3030 Wells Street. 

From Mr. Pinkham. 

" Office of Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., 
" Lynn, Mass., July 9, 1895. 
" Mr. C. I. Hood, Lowell, Mass. : 

" Dear Sir : — Cherry Blossom has in every 
way fulfilled my expectations and makes me a 
very nice family cow." C. H. Pinkham. 

Romp Ogden 5th's Harry. 

" Logan, Ohio, July 10, 1895. 
" C. I. Hood, Esq., Lowell, Mass.: 

"Dear Sir:— I am pleased with Romp Og- 
den 5th' s Harry. His calves are coming and 
are very nice." F. S. Case. 

He Is a Dandy. 

" Buskirk, N. Y., June 13, 1895. 
" Mr. C. I. Hood, Lowell, Mass. : 

" Dear Sir: — The cattle are all doing fine, and 
the bull Matson is a dandy." Arthur Wyatt. 

Shown Great Development. 

"Chelsea, Vt., July 15, 1895. 
" Mr. C. I. Hood. Lowell, Mass. : 

"Dear Sir:— I am glad to say that the calf. 
Harry Khedive, which I purchased from you in 
the fall of 1893, from the first has done remark- 
ably well, and has developed into one of the 
finest looking bulls I ever saw. His calves show 
the same vigor as their sire, having broad backs 
and great development of udder and teats. By 
far, Harry Khedive is the best sire I ever had.at 
my farm, and I have had bulls from several 
noted herds." J. F. Hemexway. 

Developing Finely. 

" Medford, Mass., Oct. 5, 1895. 
"C. I. Hood, Esq., Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass.:

"Mr. C. I. Hood, Lowell, Mass.: 

" Dear Sir : — I am more than pleased with the 
youngster shipped to me. * He is all that you 
promised, looks finely and came through all 
right. My herdsman reports that he looked as 
well after his long trip as if he had not been 
crated an hour. To say that I am pleased does 
not express my feelings ; I am delighted with 
my purchase." D. P. Reamer. 

*A son of Brown Bessie's Son, out of our great 
cow, Mercurina.

Hood Farm. 



Located about three miles from the city of Lowell. Mass.. on the main road 
leading- from Lowell to Lawrence (south side of River), and commands a mag- 
nificent view of a broad expanse of the Merrimack Valley. It is owned by Mr. 
C. I. Hood, whose reputation as the proprietor of Hood's Sarsaparilla is almost 
as extended as civilization itself. The Farm contains about 500 acres of land. 

To Get Here come by Boston and Maine Railroad to Lowell. Middlesex 
Street Station, from which you can reach Hood Farm by a short, pleasant drive. 

Stock for sale at all times, but no one will be importuned to buy. "We in- 
vite personal inspection, and will cheerfully show the stock and give prices at all 
times, except on Sunday. 

The Prices will be found reasonable. Of course the high standard of the 
herd must always be considered, and purchasers will realize that at Hood Farm 
they are able to select from the best in the land. Here you may see the greatest 
cows in the world and judge of the breeding* and quality of their offspring. No 
such opportunity to select the best stock has ever been given Jersey breeders 
before . 

Visitors are as welcome at Hood Farm as purchasers. Mr. Hood takes justi- 
fiable pride in his stock and lias unbounded faith in it : he is convinced that an 
inspection of the herd will fully sustain the claims made in this Catalogue, which 
is intended to convey to those interested an idea of the foundation lines of the 
Hood Farm Herd.

Hood Farm Jerseys. 



A Herd of National Importance —The Best Lines of Breeding 

and the Finest Individuality. 

It is safe to say that no herd of Jerseys in the country has attracted more 
attention the past few years than the herd at Hood Farm. Winning' national 
importance by the remarkable triumphs of its representatives in the Dairy Tests 
at the World's Fair at Chicago, in 1893, breeders have watched with great inter- 
est the increase in size and improvement in quality of the Hood Farm Herd, 
while the general public have read of its growth and its triumphs with admira- 
tion and satisfaction. In forming- the herd, Mr. Hood determined to gather on 
one farm such a herd of Jerseys as has never been owned by anyone before, and 
comprising' only individuals of the very highest order. He has strictly adhered 
to the principle that every addition must have perfect individuality, marked by 
the inheritance of great milk-giving' and butter-making' qualities, thus following 
the adage that " like begets like or the likeness of an ancestor." 

A careful examination of the pedigrees given in this Catalogue will convince 
anyone that pedigrees have been given the consideration their great importance 
deserves, while an inspection will demonstrate beyond possible doubt that the 
animals possess individuality of the highest order. Breeders acknowledge the 
fact that Hood Farm Herd is composed, so to speak, of the Jersey cream of the 
land; it is the creme cle la creme; the lines of breeding are those showing great- 
est prepotence in transmitting to offspring their own inherited milk-giving and 
butter-making qualities. 

It is a fact of history that in the greatest test which has ever taken place in 
the world — the World's Fair Dairy Test at Chicago in 1893 — Hood Farm Herd 
had more cows participating than any other herd : and notwithstanding 
Signal's Lily Flagg 31035 was barred from competition, because of her great 
record, (1047 lbs. % oz. of butter in one year), the leading cows in all the 
tests were Merry Maiden 64949 and Brown Bessie 74997, while very high 
positions were won by Islip Lenox 31703, Alteration 56436, and Little Goldie 
38671. The successes of the Hood Farm cows in public competition with 
Jerseys and other breeds, the pick of the land, demonstrate the high standard 
of our herd and give it, as we have said, national importance. 

In forming the Hood Farm Herd, expert judges have selected from the best 
herds in the country, from Vermont to California and from Minnesota to Ala- 
bama. Price has not been considered when any animal which would assist in 



CATALOGUE OF HOOD FARM. 



raising or in upholding the high standard we have established, could be secured. 
We have purchased not only great individuals, but their ancestors and progeny 
have also been brought to Hood Farm. For instance, in the case of the great 
cow, Merry Maiden, winner of Sweepstakes Award for Best Individual Cow of 
any herd competing in the World's Fair Dairy Tests, Hood Farm possesses six 
generations, her grandam, dam, herself, daughter, granddaughter, and great 
granddaughter. 

Time, labor, patience, and money have been used in forming this great herd; 
and the same effort and expense is now being applied in sustaining and even 
raising the standard. The object is to maintain each cow at the highest point 
of healthy production on a liberal, but rational, economical and unforced diet. 
With such careful attention, and exercise of the best judgment in breeding, it 
is only natural that offspring are being produced which actually excel their pro- 
genitors and ancestors. That intelligent breeders are recognizing this fact, and 
are appreciating these great lines of breeding, is clearly proven by the demand 
for Hood Farm stock. Our young things are being sold almost before they are 
born, and it is a struggle for us to keep the heifers, which we feel we should 
keep, in order properly to develop to a greater degree of perfection the progeny 
of these wonderful cows and bulls. We are not naming fancy prices for this 
stock, and have sold them up to this time at about the prices of ordinary stock. 
If the demand increases another year as it has in the past, the supply will not 
equal it, and, inevitably, prices must be advanced. Our object, thus far, has 
been not so much to get large prices as to distribute the stock into different 
sections of the country, that breeders and Jersey men, generally, may recog- 
nize and see for themselves that there is a reality in all we claim for Hood 
Farm Jerseys. 

It has been a source of great gratification to us that in every instance where 
we have sold a Jersey, by description or personal selection, the purchasers have 
written us expressing the greatest satisfaction in the individuality of the animal 
and its development. 

Situation, Care and Feed. 

Nothing which brains can devise, experience has suggested, or money can 
buy has been spared to make the home of the Hood Farm Jerseys healthful, con- 
venient and comfortable. In the first place, Hood Farm (it would be more cor- 
rect to say Hood Farms) is beautifully and perfectly situated on a high elevation, 
and has all the advantages of complete drainage, freedom from malaria, or 
swamp atmosphere, with perfect ventilation, light, and heat when necessary. 
The buildings are all of modern construction, built after the best ideas suggested 
by long experience in the dairy business. The stables are kej)t scrupulously 
clean. The animals are cared for by trained hands; they are given the most 
wholesome, aromatic, nourishing food. The feed is never forced, but is carefully 
calculated with reference to future generations. Our aim is to produce the most 
robust, healthy development. The younger stock and bulls are not kept in warm 
stables, but in sheds having southern exposure, with doors and windows open 
all winter, which experience proves makes them rugged and strong. They have 
pure, fresh spring water to drink, warmed in cold weather. The stables are 
lighted with incandescent electric lights, thus avoiding the fumes of oil lamps 
or illuminating gas.

Characteristics of Hood Farm Jerseys. * 

[From the Massachusetts Ploughman.] 

" The Jerseys at Hood Farm are noted for heavy milking as well as for but- 
ter, and larg-e udders with great swelling' milk veins are the rule. Like most 
prominent Jersey breeders, Mr. Hood cares less for color than for other and 
more important points. A grawish fawn color is perhaps the most common, 
but some cows have considerable white about them, while others are a solid 
brown approaching black at the head and at the lower portion of the legs. The 
escutcheon is of that rich orange yellow shade which so plainly indicates butter 
and plenty of it. The Hood Farm Jerseys are very solid and substantial looking- 
animals with ample digestive room and vitality to support the requirements of a 
large and rich milk yield."

Brown Bessie's Son 34550 

Head of the Hood Farm Herd. 

Dropped March 25, 1889. The most valuable bull living today. As his 
name indicates, he is a son of the great Brown Bessie 74997. See next page. 

In individuality it would be difficult to excel him. Of great substance, 
length and depth, he is yet as fine as silk, and has all the points of a dairy 
bull. Having great constitution, he is not in the slightest degree coarse. 

At the issue of this Catalogue Ave have twenty of his daughters at Hood 
Farm, and in these heifers he shows his power to transmit the great quali- 
ties of his ancestors. We do not believe twenty heifers of equal quality can 
be shown anywhere. There are only two of his daughters in milk at present. 
One, Brown Bonnie 102406, has a test of 18 lbs. 8 oz. in 7 days, and the other,.

Brown m Bessie 7499 7 

Champion Butter Cow, Winner of 90 Days and 30 Days Tests, 

World's Fair Dairy Tests, Against All Breeds. 

Dropped Mar. 27, 1885. Apart from Merry Maiden 64941), there was no cow 
in the World's Fair Dairy Tests that attracted as much attention as Brown 
Bessie, and in many respects she had more admirers than Merry Maiden, the 
latter not having- reached her maturity at that time, whereas Brown Bessie 
was in the full bloom of maturity. No one entering the dairy barns at Chicago 
could fail to notice the remarkable individuality of Brown Bessie. Long and 
deep of body, with great stowage capacity, she carried an enormous udder, 
with perfectly placed, teats, which were fed by veins extraordinary in size 
and extremely tortuous, and having no less than live distinct milk holes. 
She is not only exceedingly rich, but an extremely deep milker, as is evidenced 
by the fact that in the month of June. 1893, she milked 44 lbs. 11 1-8 oz., 
and for that month her daily average was 40 lbs. 7 oz. Jn July she milked 
as high as 43 lbs. 9 3-5 oz. Her daily average for June and Julv was 40 lbs. 
8 oz. In August she milked as high as 43 lbs. 11 1-5 oz. in a day. and in 24 
days out of 29 that the test lasted in that month, milked over 40 lbs. per day. 
Her daily average of milk for tire 90 days of the test was 40 lbs. G oz. She 
made 3 lbs. of butter per dav five times during the test, as follows: Julv 10, 
3 lbs. 7 3-8 oz.; July 2r>, 3 lbs. 2 1-4 oz. ; July 30. 3 lbs. ^-6 oz. : August 18, 
3 lbs. 3 3-5 oz. ; August 24. 3 lbs. 2-3 oz. : and when she had been in milk 121 
days on dry feed she made 20 lbs. 2 1-2 oz. of butter in 7 consecutive days. 
The 90 days test ended August 29. and in August she made over 2 1-2 lbs. of 
butter per day 22 days out of 29. She made more butter in a day. a week, a 
month and throughout the entire period of the test, than any other cow in it. 
She gave more milk than any cow of any breed in the tests — 5,617 lbs. 6 2-5 
oz. — with the exception of one Shorthorn, who gave 5.G87 lbs. 11 1-8 oz. ; but 
Brown Bessie, on less milk, made over 98 lbs. more butter than did her Short- 
horn competitor. Brown Bessie ? s daily average in milk for the five months of 
the test was 40 lbs. 1 9-10 oz. Dam of Brown Bessie's Son 34550, bull at 
the head of the Hood Farm Herd. (See page 6).

Ben Rajah 795; her dam is Laura Lee 8550, dam of four in the 14 lb. list, 
by three different sires. She is a daughter of Von Bismarck 2d 1779. full 
brother of Von Bismarck 3d. 

Modita lias herself a test of 15 lbs. 8 oz. on ordinary feed and care, and 
is the dam of Costa Rica. 20 lbs. 10 1-2 oz. ; Mercurina, 17 lbs. 10 1-2 oz.. and 
Daretta, 16 lbs. 8 oz. We have three other daughters which we expect to test 
with their next calves. 

It is not from the standpoint of her own individuality and performance, good 
as both are, that we lay such value on Modita. She is progenitor of a great 
family of the Merry Maiden strain, the like of which, we think, has never been 
seen. We have six generations represented in the herd, each one of whom is 
of superb individuality, and Modita is the ancestor from whom they spring. 
That her greatness as a breeder of this Merry Maiden family was not chance 
or an isolated instance, is shown by her being the dam of Costa Rica, Mercurina. 
Daretta, Chestnuts, Personia, and Modita of Hood Farm. Truly Modita is 
entitled to be classed as a great cow and an unapproachable breeder. 

Light fawn inclining to golden : long thin head ; long neck ; front shoulder 
fairly thin; body deep: flat open ribs: short legs: hip bones high and prom- 
inent; thigh flat; udder good size, very full and well rounded front and rear 
and square in front; very pretty shaped udder: teats good size; milk veins 
large and very tortuous. Modita is an extra good cow and one of the richest 
in the herd. At this writing she is past 14 years of age but is rugged, healthy, 
hearty, and giving good flow of milk.

Worthy the Jerseys. 

[ From the Jersey Bulletin. ] 

" Hood Farm is a home in every way worthy these magnificent Jerseys. In 
extent and completeness of fitting for the comfort of the cows and convenience 
in handling them, with its silos, box-stalls, light and ventilation, hot and cold 
water and electric lights, — we would be at loss to point to a finer equipment of 
barns and paddocks — and our observation has been somewhat extended."

Costa Rica 64570. 

Dam of Merry Maiden, 18 lbs. 4-5 oz. ; Chirp, 19 lbs. 8 oz. 

Dropped Jan. 20, 1885. Costa Rica has attained a great notoriety as the dam 
of Merry Maiden, winner of Sweepstakes Award for best individual cow in any 
herd competing, World's Fair Dairy Tests, Chicago, 1893, but a glance at her 
picture will show that her claim to greatness does not rest alone upon her 
being the dam of Merry Maiden, but that she herself has all the characteristics 
of a great cow and progenitor of such. She is a daughter of Upright 6147, 
sire of 11 cows in the 14 lb. list out of 14 registered daughters. Upright is a 
grandson of Lord Lawrence and of Boma, a daughter of Marius 1760: so that 
Upright comes naturally by his great power of butter transmission. Modita is 
the dam of Costa Rica. The former has a test of 15 lbs. 8 oz., and besides being 
the dam of Costa Rica is dam of Mercurina, 17 lbs. 10 1-2 oz., and Daretta. 16 
lbs. 8 oz. Modita is a granddaughter of One Ton, who is also the grandsirc of 
Upright, so that Costa Rica partakes of the blood of Upright on the dam's side. 
The maternal grandam of Costa Rica is Laura Lee, dam of four in the 14 lb. 
list by three different sires. The maternal great-grandsire of Costa Rica is Von 
Bismarck 2d, full brother of Von Bismarck 3d, a getter of butter cows. Costa 
Rica is full sister of Daretta, 16 lbs. 8 oz. From this array of butter qualities 
it will be seen that she is steeped^in butter inheritance. That she herself pos- 
sesses it is shown by the fact that she has milked over 39 lbs. at Hood Farm on 
winter feed, and made 20 lbs. 10 1-2 oz. of butter in 7 days, 3 lbs. 13 3-4 oz. in one 
day, six months after calving. Her milk has tested 10.6 per cent, butter 
fat, and that she transmits this unusual richness to her progeny is shown by the 
fact her daughter, Merry Maiden, was the richest cow in the World's Fair Dairy 
Test. In one year, with her last calf, Costa Rica gave 10.258 lbs. 7 oz. of milk. 

Golden fawn with very little white ; good dished head; eye prominent: in- 
curving horns; fairly thin over front shoulder; body very deep: very short 
legs; ribs open and well sprung; constitution extra good: udder very large, 
full in front and very full behind; thighs flat: milk veins very large, remark- 
ably tortuous and elastic; general appearance that of a business cow, with great

constitution. That her udder has great capacity is shown by the fact that when 
her photograph was taken she carried in her udder 2o lbs. 4 oz. Her milk 
veins are enormous and remarkably tortuous, and are fed by extraordinary 
large milk holes. Dam of Chirp, 19 lbs. 8 oz. 

Costa Rica is a Great Cow, the Dam of Great Cows; the daughter of 
a Great Dam, and one of the progenitors of a Great Family. 



Daretta 62579. 

Full Sister to Costa Rica. 

Dropped January 23, 188G. Light gray, with some white; head hand- 
some, dished; small horns; eyes large and placid; body compact, deep, and set 
on short legs; wedge shaped; loin good; thighs flat; udder good size; rear large, 
full and well up; shape of udder pendant. A cow of good constitution, coin- 
pact in body and rich. Test 16 lbs. 8 oz. Dam of Spark, 20 lbs. 3 oz. 



Chestnuts 63449. 

Full Sister to Costa Rica. 

Dropped January 9, 1887. Silver gray color; long head, well dished; good 
eye; neck long, thin; thin shoulder; very short legs; compact body, with 
open, well-sprung ribs; wedge shape; hip bones prominent; tail long, well 
set on; thighs flat; very large, handsome udder, full, square in front, extra 
large, well out behind; milk^ veins extra good; teats large, well placed. An 
extra good cow and a handsome one. Chestnuts 63449 has never been tested. 
We believe with her next calf she will be capable of making a large test. 

Pedigree of Costa Rica, and also of her full Sisters, 
Chestnuts and Daretta.

For Profit, Not Pleasure. 

Hood Farm is not established as a pastime simply, but as a pleasant, honora- 
ble and profitable business. By strict attention to breeding- in only the richest 
and most profitable lines, we believe we are also conferring- inestimable good 
upon the dairy interests of the whole country.

Merry Maiden 64949. 

Winner of Sweepstakes Award for Best Individual Cow in Any Herd 
Competing, World's Fair Dairy Tests, Chicago, 1893. 

This is undoubtedly the most famous cow living - . Her reputation is world- 
wide. She entered the World's Fair Dairy Tests in a competition with 74 of 
the choicest mature cows that could be selected from all over the country, the 
best representatives of three different breeds, in a fight to determine which 
was the most profitable breed. Every breeder fully appreciated the far- 
reaching importance of the result of this competition. At this time Merry 
Maiden was less than 5 years old, and she went through a very serious sick- 
ness while in the tests, in consequence of which she Avas off her full ration for 
over three weeks. But her intrinsic worth as an economic and persistent yielder 
of dairy products was so great that, notwithstanding" the fact that she had not 
yet reached her maturity, and that she had to contend with this serious sickness, 
which largely decreased her production, she steadily forged ahead and landed 
the winner of the great Sweepstakes award for best individual cow 
in any herd competing. She Jnmg to 40 lbs. of milk per day on dry 
feed for a long time and proved herself the richest cow of the 75 in the 
tests. She was the only cow that remained continuously in the three 
tests that made two pounds of butter or over each day in the last test. "AVe 
believe she has no equal anywhere. 

She is a daughter of Diploma 16206, a son of Combination 4389. 

Reference to this Catalogue will show that Hood Farm has more individuals 
ot this unapproachable strain than can be found elsewhere. AVe have Merry 
Maiden herself, her dam Costa Rica, her grandam Modita, her daughter 
Masher, her granddaughter Silver Merrv Maiden and her great granddausrh-

ter Brown Bessie loth of Hood Farm, making six generations in all. Collect- 
ively and individually they are superb, and apart from their being - the imme- 
diate ancestors and descendants of this greatest of great cows, their like 
cannot be found anywhere. Merry Maiden's effort in the test did not injure 
her in the least; on the contrary, it added to her depth of barrel, size of 
udder and milk veins, both of which, now that she is more mature, are 
exceedingly large, and the latter very tortuous. Dropped Sept. 26, 1888. 
Test 18 lbs. 4-5 oz. at the World's Fair. 

In individuality Merry Maiden is a perfect type of a dairy cow: it would be 
impossible to excel her. She is probably the most persistent milker in the 
world. It was found impossible to dry her off at Chicago, and she has not been 
dry since. She gave last year 816G lbs. of milk on very ordinary feed. The 
reason we give her ordinary feed is because she has made her record and we 
wish to keep her in the best of health for the sake of her progeny. : ^m^^. 

. Dropped Sept. 26, 1888. Squirrel gray color with darker facings; headlong- 
and thin: eyes bright; neck very long', thin and drooping-; very thin over front

thin: udder extra large, very full, extending- well up in front; rear udder very 
full, extending- well up behind; milk veins extra tortuous, large, elastic; milk 
holes very large ; hip bones prominent. General appearance: A deep-bodied, 
business cow, with an extra large and perfectly formed udder that would not put 
a pound of fat on her back, with plenty of stowage capacity, and a milker all 
the year round, backed by a good constitution.

Mint 23600. 



Double Grandson of Combination 4389. 

Dropped June 29, 1889. An exceptionally fine bull, worthy his breeding. 
He is sired by Diploma 16219, who has to his credit 27 tested daughters, among* 
them Merry Maiden 64949, the champion sweepstakes cow of the World's Fair 
Dairy Tests against all breeds. He is full brother to Columbiana, test 18 lbs. 
6 oz. His dam is Lorita 33750, a notable cow in the World's Fair Dairy Tests. 
She tested 15 lbs. 6 1-2 oz. in 7 days, with common farmer's care: won first 
prize at the Iowa State Fair three times, and is a full sister to Triplexia of Hood 
Farm Herd, test 16 lbs. She is a cow with an enormous udder, great depth 
and length of barrel, perfectly placed teats, and is in every way a model dairy 
cow. She and Diploma, the sire of Mint, are son and daughters of Combina- 
tion, so that Mint is a double grandson of Combination 4389. 

Like all the grandsons of Combination, Mint has great length and depth of 
barrel, and is in conformation a type of getter of dairy cows. 

We have five of Mint's daughters in milk, and they are remarkable for 
uniformity and marked similarity in appearance, for great udder development, 
particularly full and large in front, with large and well placed teats. 

Mint's oldest daughter, Lennie, is a beauty, and promises to make a great 
dairy cow. She sustains the reputation of her great breeding by having a 
very large and perfect udder with large and well placed teats, and for her age 
is a deep milker. 

See list of Mint's daughters, and pedigree, on next page. 



The Most and Best. 

Beauty of form and color are desirable, but should be given only secondarv 
position. The prime consideration in regard to the Jersey cow is the produc- 
tion of the largest possible amount of milk, cream and butter from a given 
amount of feed. In the formation and continuation of Hood Farm Herd the 
owner has endeavored to be guided by these principles.

Cliromo 26113. 



Dropped July 28, L890. Chromo is one of the three best sons of Diploma 
living today, the others being- Mint and Tonnage, also in the Hood Farm herd. 
Chromo was selected by the American Jersey Cattle Club to be used on the great 
cows in the World's Fair Dairy Tests, Chicago. 1898, and a majority of the cows 
were served by him. Cliromo took first prize at the Iowa State Fair, 1892. 
and was commended in the show ring at the World's Fair Live Stock Exhibit, 
Chicago. 1893. His sire. Diploma, is the sire of Merry Maiden. His dam. 
Broadway 00883, has a test of 18 lbs. 10 oz. She is an ideal dairy cow. with 
a huge udder, tremendous milk veins, good teats well placed: and. besides be- 
ing a butter-maker, is a deep milker. She has a right to be a good cow. as her 
sire is a pure St. Lambert bull, a grandson of Stoke Pogis 3d, Pride of Windsor, 
and his dam being a double granddaughter of Lord Lisgar and a granddaughter 
of Lucy of St. Lambert, the grandam of Ida of St. Lambert, test 30 lbs. 2 1-2 
oz.. milk record 67 lbs. in a day; and Allie of St. Lambert, test 26 lbs. 12 oz.. 
milk record 62 lbs. in a day. The paternal grandam of Broadway is the pure 
St. Lambert cow. Lisgar's Ella 21992, with a test of 17 lbs. Turning to the 
maternal line of breeding of the dam of Chromo. we find as her darn Tenella's 
Ilegina 37092, test 16 lbs. 10 oz., a daughter of Tenella 3d 37089, 16 lbs. 3 oz., 
and a double granddaughter of Tenella 6712. 22 lbs. 1 1-2 oz.. dam of two in the list. 

While due importance is given to the lines of breeding represented in 
Chromo as a fair presumption of what he will reproduce, he was not purchased 
by Hood Farm until a critical examination of his get demonstrated that such as 
were in milk, all with their first calves, had universally large udders, square 
and full in front, extending out behind, with extra large teats well placed, 
with grand constitutions and bodies, and that his daughters not in milk had an 
equal promise of udder, size and placing of teats. 

Chromo is a solid color, black tongue and switch; very deep in body, short 
legs, with large, well sprung, open ribs; good withers; tail well set on; good 
flat thighs, well cut out in rear, and with extraordinarily large rudimentaries. 
He is a bull of grand constitution, and impresses the most desirable character- 
istics on his offspring. He is a full brother of Matinee, 18 lbs. 8 oz.

Tonnage 20000. 



Dropped May 2.5, 1888. In Tonnage 20000 we have another son of Diploma. 
He is not only a grandson of Combination through Diploma, but. his dam is 
Transcript 31867. with a test of 17 lbs. 7 oz. in 7 days, who is a daughter of 
Combination; so that Tonnage is a double grandson of Combination. 

It will thus be seen that Tonnage has 50 per cent, of the blood in Merry 
Maiden, the great champion sweepstakes cow in the World's Fair Dairy Tests 
against all breeds, all three tests combined; and inasmuch as he is in every 
essential a typical bull for the progenitor of dairy cows, we will be greatly 
mistaken unless he produces a most superior type. Those of his daughters 
in milk go a great way to bear out this belief. We consider him an uncom- 
monly handsome bull, and his "get" of unusual excellence and promise. He 
is a very long, deep barrelled bull, with a remarkably good skin. His ribs are 
open and flat and he has great constitution. Tonnage Girl, his daughter, won 
first prize at the Xew England Fair. 1895, as best two-year-old heifer.

A Wonderful Record. 

[From the N. Y. AVeekly Witness.] 
The most remarkable achievement of the great cow Brown Bessie in the 
World's Fair Dairy Tests was in making her largest seven consecutive day-* 
yield of butter when she had been milking continuously 121 days. She exceeded 
three pounds of butter in 24 hours seven times. The third day after closing the 
test, on reduced feed, she again reached the three pound mark.

BIRD OF PARADISE 34916, DAM OF 

Paradise Combination 36730. 

Dropped April 28. 1893. This is another of the great young stock bulls 

used on the young things at Hood Farm. He is an inbred Combination, having 

six crosses of this grand old bull and 59 3-8 per cent, of his blood, 9 3-8 more 

than a son, and being inbred through ever}' channel to Combination, he cannot 

fail to impress the type of this great bull upon all his descendants. He is a son 

of Bird of Paradise, probably one of the finest cows among many fine ones that 
ever came into Massachusetts. She is a sample of a Jersey and a dairy cow, 
extremely deep of body, perfect wedge shape, with great stowage capacity;: 
she Avas thin over front shoulder, high of hip, flat of thigh, well cut out between 
hind legs to make room for an enormous udder, one of the largest ever carried 
by a Jersey cow, pendant in nature, reaching near the ground, with enormous 
and perfectly placed teats: an udder which by its perfect shape would command 
admiration. She was a veritable milk machine, milking as high as 48 lbs. 
at her flush, and, although giving so great a flow of milk which must have 
contained a large amount of butter, she was untested, and, unfortunately, was 
burned in the fire which took place at one of Mr. Hood's smaller farms, 
thereby preventing her from making a record, as she doubtless would have done 
had shebeen placed under test. So much impressed was Mr. Hood with Bird 
of Paradise, and so great was his confidence in her, that he selected her son 
among a great number of superb and grandly bred bulls, as one to be kept 
to perpetuate the stock which he represents. 

AVe may well have confidence that it matters not to what channel this grand 
voung bull reverts, he cannot fail to get such stock as will add lustre and fame 
to Hood Farm. Individually, he is a beautiful animal: Dark in color, clean- 
cut as a bull was ever made, with well-sprung, open ribs: good quarters, flat 
thighs; long, slim neck: good rudimentaries : fine limbs and good head; long 
switch and tail w T ell set on. He is surely a bull in whom any owner may 
justifiably take pride, both in his breeding and individual excellence. [See 
pedigree on next page.]

Filled His Ideal. 

[Correspondent Indiana Fanner.] 
J food Farm Herd of Jerseys is the largest and best I have ever seen. I have 
seen a good many herds of Jersey cattle, but none before that quite filled my 
ideal in all respects. Perfect individuality as well as perfect breeding- have been 
the chief features in making- up the herd.

[From the rainier (Mass.) Journal.] 
Rev. F. S. Hatch, who recently purchased Helena Scituate. a beautiful Jer- 
sey cow from the Hood Farm, writes as follows to her late owners: ••Helena 
attracted considerable attention when she was led up from the station. Peo- 
ple stopped to remark upon her beauty, and one man said she was so hand- 
some that he would steal her if I did not keep her locked up."

Appeal 32107. 



Dropped May 10, 1892. Appeal 32107 represents another line of breeding 
in the Combination 4389 family. 

His sire is Herotas 26500, an almost pure Alphea Jupiter bull, with the ex- 
ception of two crosses of the Dauncy bull Rioter 2nd 409 Imp., which he gets 
through Eurotas 2454, who has a record of 778 lbs. 1 oz. in one year, and who 
is the grandam and great grandam of Herotas. 

The maternal grandam of Herotas is Daisy Darling 6386. She is the 
dam of three in the 14 lb. list. She is by the Dauncy bull, Dolphin 2d, and 
out of Violet of Darlington 5573, imported. Violet of Darlington was pur- 
chased and imported on account of the richness of her milk. Mr. A. B. 
Darling says that his experience in after years leads him to think that she 
was capable of nearly and perhaps 20 lbs. per week, and her descendants 
crossed with the blood of Eurotas have given the most gratifying results. 

Appeal was selected to make a partial out-cross on the Combination family, 
owing to the marvelous dairy qualities possessed by the daughters of Herotas 
when crossed upon Combination descendants. 

The dam of Appeal is Josephina 64921, test 14 lbs. 1 oz., a daughter of 
Diploma and Nettie C. Magnet 35411, the latter a granddaughter of Champion 
of America 1569. 

Appeal is a bull of rare qualities and conformation, as is evidenced by his 
capturing the second prize in the two year old class at the New England Fair 
1894, with Mr. T. S. Cooper acting as Jersey judge. 

Color, solid black tongue and switch. Great things are hoped for from this 
bull. His oldest daughter won 1st prize as best heifer over six months and 
under 1 vear at the New England Fair 1895. 



Herotas 26500.°

Volco of Hood Farm. 

Dropped May 4th, 1895. In this young bull Hood Farm lias an animal from 

which great results may naturally he expected. lie is bred the nearest like 

Volco, the sire of Brown Bessie, (See page 7) of any bull living, his sire being 

John of Brondale 35995, a son of Solid Duke of Framingham 5353 who sired 

Volco 7890. If no other claim could be made for the blood of Solid Duke of 

Framingham than that he was the grandsire of Brown Bessie, it would be sufficient 

to stamp him as a great bull, but Solid Duke of Framingham is grandson of 

Sweepstakes Duke, or Duke 76, on his sire's as well as on his dam's side. 

The dam of Volco of Hood Farm is Catharine 13679, a cow that is now 
healthy and strong in her 16th year, and she is the dam of Volco 7890. 

Volco of Hood Farm is solid squirrel grey, inclined to fawn, tongue partly black, 
black switch. He is a bull of great substance, depth and length of barrel, 
splendid bent ribbing, thin over front shoulders, handsome head, good rum]), 
tail well set on, rudimentaries good length and bears the impress of vigor and 
beauty. That he will prove a great sire is justified by his breeding and superior 
individual merit.

Signal's -Lily Flagg 31035. 

Hood Farm holds Avith this cow, the Silver Challenge Cup for the greatest production of butter by a Jersey 
in one year, viz., 1047 lbs. % oz. Test in one week, 29 lbs. 

Dropped Jan. 28. 1884. The Silver Challenge Cup above referred to is 
valued at $250 and an engraving of it is printed on the third page of the cover of 
this Catalogue. The cup was offered by D. F. Appleton and Major W. J. Web- 
ster for the cow producing the most butter in 3G5 consecutive days. Signal's 
Lily Flagg is not only a good butter maker, but is a deep and persistent milker, 
as in the first month of her year's test. June. 1891. she gave 18.55 lbs. and 15 oz. 
of milk, which made 118 lbs. 15 oz. of butter. This is her best yield of butter 
in any one month. Previous to finishing the year, she was tested on behalf of 
the American Jersey Cattle Club and gave in one week 189 lbs. 6 oz. of milk, which 
made 27 lbs. %% oz. of butter. She was then 8 years and 4 months old. Signal's 
Lily Flagg was barred from participating in the World's Fair Dairy tests, be- 
cause of her great yearly record. The fame of Signal's Lily Flagg does not rest 
upon her butter capacity alone, though it would be enough to stamp her as one 
of the greatest Jersey cows that ever lived. The pure bred Jersey is retained 
not only for what she herself is capable of doing at the pail and churn, but to 
fulfill the essentials of the breed, she ought to have power to transmit to her im- 
mediate offspring, some of the strong characteristics she herself possesses. It is 
an extraordinary fact, and one worthy of deep thought, that our greatest cows 
have rarely produced anything remarkable in the shape of (laughters, but that 
their qualities are transmitted oftener through some son. In this respect Sig- 
nal's Lily Flagg is a rare exception, as her two daughters, Signella M. 55839 
and Jennie Fordyce 57169, have butter records of 21 lbs. 4 oz. and 15 lbs. b% 
oz. with first calf, respectively, thereby giving her an extra title to greatness, 
based on the year's record, and that she is one of the few great cows of a large 
yearly test that has more than one tested daughter. 

The eye of the expert would pick out Signal's Lily Flagg among thousands 
as a cow of remarkably strong constitution, a cow capable of doing any amount 
of work within the range of any cow. Her head is of medium size — very broad

Hood Farm Pogis 40684. 

The above engraving' represents him at 12 months old. Dropped August 2, 
1893. This is one of the great young - stock bulls used on the noble cows com- 
posing- Hood Farm Herd. He is worthy to occupy so important a post, as he is 

superbly bred and his individual merit equals his breeding - . He is, in color, a 
lemon fawn; is extremely long - and very deep, with well sprung - , open ribs: is 
remarkably thin over front shoulder, and a perfect wedge in shape: is broad 
across the loins, with well-set hip bones which are prominent, and a tail well set 
on and long - . His neck is long - and he carries a grand head: his rudimentaries 
are superb. Taking - him all in all. apart from his breeding - , he is the ideal type 
of a dairy bull. As a two-year-old he won at the Xew England Fair. 1895, the 
sweepstakes prize as best bull of any ag - e and headed the sweepstakes herd. 
His form, in connection with his breeding - , makes him about as perfect as can be 
found anywhere. The few calves by him that have been dropped at Hood 
Farm are a phenomenal type and uniform color. See names at bottom of page 64.

FANCY'S HARRY 9777,, SIRE OF 27 IN 14 LB. LIST. SIRE OF 

Fancv Harrv of Hood Farm 42345. 

Dropped July 5. 1894. When the great butter bull, Fancy's Harry 0777, died, 
leaving- a reputation as a producer of butter daughters that will last as long as 
the memory of the present generation, Mr. Hood sought for a successor to so 
great a sire, and natural]}' hesitated to go out of the lines of breeding repre- 
sented in this grand old bull, realizing that the proven qualities he possessed 
and inherited must be transmitted to a son, provided that there was nothing 
in the maternal line of breeding to detract therefrom. 

In his herd was Helen Barry 55844, test 18 lbs. 7 oz. at 3 years 2 
months old, a beautiful daughter of Little Harry 8808, out of a daughter of 
Lemon Peel's Duke P. S. 497, J. H. B. Helen Barry is one of the most beau- 
tiful cows to be met with anywhere. She is silver gray, with a dished 
head; superb body; large udder; good teats, well placed; grand milk veins, 
and is withal a deep milker, and her test shows a great butter maker. It will 
be remembered that Fancy's Harry is sired by Lord Harry, and inasmuch as 
Little Harry is a son of Lord Harry, the Lord Harry blood is intensified in 
Fancy Harry of Hood Farm. There are many whose conviction is strong in 
the belief that you cannot get too much of the blood of Top Sawyer and Duchess 
of Bloomtield, the sire and dam respectively of Lord Harry; but there are few 
who will not admit that the blood of Little Harry may be fortified and intensified 
by having added to it the blood of Tormentor 3533, as is the case in Little Harry, 
the sire of Helen Barry, as he is a grandson of Tormentor through his dam. 
Clara Mowbray 11020, test 6 lbs. 3 oz. in three days from less than three teats, 
and is a full sister of Oallinette, 16 lbs. 15 oz. It will thus be seen that Fancy 
Harry of Hood Farm, the result of this union, has two crosses of Top Sawyer, 
two crosses of Duchess of Bloomtield, one cross of Landseer and Landseer's 
Fancy, one of Tormentor, and one of Oonan. The get of Lemon Peel's Duke 
Avere noted for their beauty, which has been imparted to Helen Barry. The 
get of Fancy's Harry arc also noted for their beauty; and, as is to be ex-

Pedro Signal Landseer 30212. 

Dropped May 4, 1892. Unless the old adage. "Like begets like or the like- 
ness of an ancestor." entirely fails in this case. Pedro Signal Landseer must be a 
most successful sire, for it matters not in what direction you trace his pedigree 
you always find great butter and milk-giving ancestors and the progenitors of 
such. He was sired by Young Pedro 9033. sire of that remarkable cow. Eurotisama . 
test 945 lbs. 9 oz. of butter in a year, and holder at one time of the Silver 
Challenge Cup now held by Signal's Lily Flagg (see page 61). On his dam's 
side he is a grandson of that famous cow, Landseer" s Fancy 2876, test 936 lbs. 
14% oz. in one year. The remarkable butter inheritance of Pedro Signal 
Landseer is backed up by equal individual merit, testified by his capturing 
first prize as the best two-year-old bull at the great New England Fair in 
1894, and having headed the champion sweepstakes herd at the same fair. 
His bull calves have won first prize two years in succession in their class. He 
is solid color, with handsome head, small incurving horns, beautiful eye, good 
neck, good withers, fairly long and deep of body, ribs well sprung, with a 
good constitution. His thighs are flat, and he is well cut up behind. His 
limbs are very fine and his hide handles extremely well. Although not 
very large, he has a remarkable constitution, and is as active and agile as a 
■cat, carrying a very proud, uplifted head; a show bull all over, and well he may 
be as he is a grandson of Pedro 3187. the sweepstakes bull at the World's Fair.

The Berkshire is the best breed of hogs for the breeder, the pork producer 
and the farmer. At Hood Farm we breed from the best families and the 
best blood and sell only tops at the lowest prices.

Berkshire Department 

Best Imported and Domestic Thoroughbred Strains 



Characteristics of Hood Farm Berkshires— Profit Most Important. 

AVe believe the Jersey cow is the greatest of all breeds for profitable dairy- 
ing - , and actual competition has proved this as far as other breeds ventured to 
enter the competition. So Ave believe the Berkshire breed is the greatest of all 
breeds of swine for profit, and profit is what we are all looking for. 

The hope of Mr. Hood, as proprietor of Hood Farm, is to benefit not only 
the farmers in the immediate vicinity, but other farmers throughout the country* 

Hood Farm was begun as a recreation and relief from the exhausting labors 
of the Hood's Sarsaparilla business. It has developed into a great business of 
itself, laid out on a broad, liberal basis, which places these great bred Jersey 
animals and thoroughbred Berkshire pigs at prices within the reach of 
farmers of limited means who farm for business. This magnificently bred stock 
is being scattered from Maine to California and from the Great Lakes to the 
Gulf. Think what beneficent results must come to the farm interests of this 
country from the introduction of these high and carefully bred bulls and boars 
upon the common stock within their reach. 

If you wish to see the most perfect type of the Berkshire hog of today, with 
all of his typical points, excellence of breeding and individuality, you cannot 
find it better illustrated than at Hood Farm. The lines of breeding carried out 
at Hood Farm are not experimental, but are those which actual tests have 
proved to be successful. Prominent among the good qualities that serve to make 
the Hood Farm Berkshires favorites, are: 

1st— Great muscular power and vitality, which render them less liable to disease than any 
other breeds. 

2d — Activity, combined with strong digestive and assimilating powers; hence they return a 
maximum amount of flesh and fat for the food consumed. 

3d — The sows are unequalled for prolificacy, and as careful nursers and good sucklers. 

ith — The pigs are strong, smart and active at birth, and consequently are less liable to mishaps. 

5th — They can be fattened for market at any time, while they may be fed to any reasonable 
weight desired. 

6th — Power of the boar to transmit the valuable qualities of the breed to Ins progeny, when 
used as a cross, as he stamps his individuality upon his progeny more strongly than any other breed. 

1th— Their unsurpassed uniformity in color, marking and quality. 

$th — Their flesh is the highest quality of pork, being marbled to a greater extent than that of 
any other breed, and makes the choicest bacon and hams. 



Berkshires Purchased in England. 

To nick with King Lee we have a bunch of imported sows personally pur- 
chased in England by Mr. Hood, carrying more of the blood that produced the 
winning boar of 1895, King Longfellow, than can be obtained elsewhere. 

Breeders securing pigs by King Lee, King Lee VII., Tormentor. Duke III. of 
Hood Farm, Model Duke Lee of Hood Farm, Lee Duke of Hood Farm and King 
William, from these sows, will obtain a strain of blood strong enough to nick suc- 
cessfully with any family. Inquiries are coming from all over the country for these 
Berkshires and from present indications we will not be able to supply the demand. 

AVe are not, however, asking fancy prices, but are willing to give young 
breeders and farmers an opportunity to improve their stock and to get the best 
at a price within their reach, and those who apply early and are so fortunate as 
to have an order filled, will have reason to be happy at their good fortune.

King Lee 2T500. 



The Best Berkshire in the Country-Owned at Hood Farm. 

Winner of Sweepstakes as best Berkshire Boar of any age, at the great St. Louis and 

and Illinois State Fairs in 1892, and winner of Sweepstakes for 

best Berkshire Boar, bred by exhibitor, at World's 

Fair, Chicago, 1893. 

King' Lee is a product of a bit of rather close inbreeding - , and demonstrates 
what great results may be worked with that two-edged sword when in the 
hands of a master breeder. The great Longfellow was his sire, and his dam was 
a daughter of Model Duke, a son of Longfellow. This sow, Lady Lee 7th. was 
a granddaughter on her dam's side of a litter-mate to Longfellow. Mr. X. H. 
Gentry counts the darn of King Lee the most noted living Berkshire sow, judged 
by her progeny, as he declares that she has already produced more really good 
pigs than any sow in the world. This is Mr. Gentry's deliberate judgement of 
King Lee: " I never used a boar whose pigs gave more general satisfaction, 
and he is likely the greatest of the get of Longfellow/' 

Standing by King Lee at the Columbian Swine Show, Mr. S. M. Shepard, the 
judge of Poland-Chinas, declared him •■' the best Berkshire Boar he ever saw."" 
That King Lee is an early-maturing sort is evidenced by the fact that at ten 
months old to a day he weighed 420 lbs. As a two-year-old carrying a weight 
of 750 lbs., he was champion of the breed at the Illinois State Fair and St. Louis 
Exposition. At the Columbian he was champion Berkshire boar bred by exhib- 
itor, lie was the sire of the second prize yearling boar, and the first prize year- 
ling sow which was also the female champion, and the winning young herd was 
headed by his full brother, Baron Lee 2d. This is the Breeder's Gazette's Col- 
umbian estimate of King Lee: •• As a stamp of a sire with his true Berkshire 
character, great hams, levelness, smoothness, balance of parts and superb quali- 
ty, his superior has scarcely ever been seen in an American show-yard."

King Lee VII. a. 36370. 

The fame and greatness of King Lee in the 
Berkshire world are so widespread that we have 
thought best to purchase an own brother, King 
Lee VII., who is the youngest son of Longfellow 
out of the old sow. Lady Lee VII. The death of 
Longfellow of course enhances the value of all 
his sons, and we have purchased this youngster 
to protect our herd against the death of King Lee. 

I do not know that I ever saw a stronger made 
hog than King Lee A'lL, and Mr. Gentry in writ- 
ing of him says : '• I have used him largely in my 
herd this winter and we already have some 
choice litters from him showing as fine head and 
ears as any pigs I have ever seen. He has 
proven a valuable sire and sure getter and is in 
every way all right, having I think the best head 
and ears combined of any boar I have ever raised 
out of Lady Lee VII. Although he has never 
been put to very high flesh, he has the appearance 
of making a large hog and I never saw better 
feet and legs than he has. He has a splendid 
disposition and is as nice a boar to handle as I 
ever owned. His weight is 412 pounds but he 
has the frame to carry much larger weight. He 
is very active and strong on his feet and legs and 
would carry easily any weight that could be put 
on him. His markings are also first class and 
he has no white on the body and every foot is 
solid white, and he has a beautiful white bush 

on his tail and plenty of white in his face," 

These words of commendation from so excel- 
lent a judge as Mr. Gentry, will satisfy any ex- 
pert breeder and should inspire the confidence 
of all interested in Berkshires, in this great pig. 



Duke III. of Hood Farm. 

A careful study of the pedigree of this great 
young boar can not but interest the student of 
Berkshires. In individuality he excels his breed- 
ing if possible. At nine months old he weighed 380 
pounds ; at ten months, 446; at one year 507 lbs. 

When you consider that he was not fed for 
flesh, but for the best possible development for 
a service boar, his greatness speaks for itself. 
He could easily have been carried to six hundred 
pounds at a year old, and would have weighed 
this in all probability on the feed he was getting 
had we not put him to breeding when ten months 
old. and we have used him since quite heavily. 

I thought his sire. King Longfellow, as hind- 
some a boar as I ever saw. but if my memory 
serves me correctly, Duke III. of Hood Farm is 
a handsomer hog. He has a long level back; 
extra hams; fine head; ears well on; short, 
strong legs: correct markings. and he is in every 
respect an ideal model, combining the best 



characteristics of the Berkshire breed. We have 

used him freely on some of our best sows, and 

predict for him and his progeny a brilliant future.

Model Duke Lee of Hood Farm. 

This young boar is sired by the great $750 
Model Duke. For finish and all typical points of 
a Berkshire it will be difficult to equal him: he 
has a right to stand at the very top of Berkshires. 

His dam is a full sister to King Lee, the best 
son of the great Longfellow. His dam is also a 
litter sister of the great Lady Lee L.. who was 
the sensation of 1895 at the great agricultural 

fairs of the West. Mr. Gentry estimated King 
Lee's Sister equal to Lady Lee L. in many re- 
spects. She is one of our great sows. 

With such a sire and such a dam there is little 
risk in pinning one's faith to the progeny of this 

great boar. I have never seen a more level hog. 
He has a straight back, great hams, the best 
of legs and feet, and stands well upon his toes. 
His fine head and ears cannot be excelled. His 
markings are ideal, four toes white, plenty of 
white in the face, and a beautiful white bush. 

I predict for this youngster a great future, and 

can recommend his progeny to those who wish 

to establish a herd or infuse the best of blood 

into their present herd. He has been bred to some 

of our best sows. With his great sire and his 

great dam and their magnificent family for an 
ancestry, and his great individuality, how can he 
fail to be of great value to the Berkshire breed?

Breeding Sows at Hood Farm. 



Duchess CXXIX. a. 33456. 

This is an ideal brood sow ; long body ; extra 
bams; short, strong legs; level back; small 
head, well dished ; ears well set on. In individ- 
uality she is up to her great breeding. It will be 
noted that she is by the great $750 boar, Model 
Duke, a son of the great Longfellow, and her 
dam. Duchess CXX., was by Lee Duke, her sec- 
ond dam by Handsome Duke, and her third 
dam by Duke of Monmouth. Can this be ex" 
-celled? Her litter, farrowed April 27, 1895. 
of which Duke III. of Hood Farm, in service in 
our herd, and Duchess I.. II. and III. of Hood 
Farm, are retained for brood sows (the balance 
having been sold), are a remarkable litter. At 
-one year old they weighed as follows: 

Duke III. of Hood Farm — 507 lbs. 

Duchess I. of Hood Farm — 416 lbs. 

Duchess II. of Hood Farm — 395 lbs. 

Duchess III. of Hood Farm — 370 lbs. 

She is a large sow herself, and weighs 61-2 lbs. 

in moderate breeding condition.

King Lee's Sister 



A. 334(JS. 



Is a magnificent type of the Berkshire breed, 
with long, level back, excellent hams, good 
head, short, strong legs. She belongs to a fam- 
ily which needs no introduction to the Berkshire 
world. Her litter sister. Lady Lee L., was the 
■sensation of the year 1895 at the great Ohio. 
Indiana. Illinois, St. Louis, and Atlanta Fairs. 
While Mr. Gentry considered Lady Lee L. supe- 
rior to King Lee's Sister, he told Mr. Hood that 
in some respects he liked King Lee's Sister bet- 
ter. She is now in farrow to Duke III. of Hood 
Farm, and we predict from this union one of the 
greatest litters of pigs farrowed at our Farm.

Lady Longfellow. 



A. 3H3S3. 



This daughter of old Longfellow has excellent 
Iiams. long, level back, strong, short legs, and is 
,a wonderfully good individual. Her dam 
is by the famous imported boar, Enterprise, 



who was exhibited at the Ontario Industrial 
Exposition (the best show in Canada), and won 
first in class and sweepstakes for four years in 
succession. He weighed 850 lbs. in good flesh; 
is a hog of great length; good, short, stout legs; 
very smooth; has a model head and neck and 
good back. 

She has just farrowed a fine litter of long- 
bodied, rugged pigs by King Lee VII. 

She will be bred to Model Duke of Hood 
Farm. The conformation of this fine young 
boar should produce with this sow a prize 
winning litter.

Sweet Sixteen, a. 33369. 

This great young sow has never been beaten 
in the show ring. She won first prize at the 
Indiana State Fair. Illinois State Fair, and the 
St. Louis Fair in 1894. This was in her yearling 
form. She has grown now to be a magnificent 
specimen of the Berkshire breed. It will be 
difficult to find a better type of hog. She has 
short, strong legs, standing well upon her toes, 
excellent depth of flank, with magnificent hams, 
and a long, level back. She awakens the enthu- 
siasm of every breeder who looks her over. 

It will be noted that she is by a full brother of 
the great King Lee. and out of Mr. Riley's great 
Count Bruno sow. Queen Esther. With such an 
inheritance. Sweet Sixteen has the rigid to be 
at the very top. As a breeder she has produced 
some of our best bigs.

Brood Sows Imported by Mr. Hood. 



Manor Poem B. Imported, b. 3*911. 

Is a full sister to Pinnock's Pride, the dam of 
King Longfellow, sire of Duke III. of Hood 
Farm. Lord Windsor and Manor Poem M are 
of the same litter. This is probably the most 
remarkable litter of Berkshires ever imported 
into this country. 

This sow was bought for the express purpose 
of breeding her to our Longfellow strain, and it 
was hoped to secure a litter by King Lee, but as 
she failed to catch to him, she was bred to 
Duke III. of Hood Farm* Much can be 
said in praise of this sow. She has a long, 
level back, extra hams, strong, short legs, ex- 
cellent ears and head, remarkably dished. She 
is one of the finest sows at Hood Farm, and yet 
one of the largest.

England. She is more than an extra good sow, 
and a litter of pigs out of her by Prince William 
II prove her great breeding qualities, as they 
are extra fine in all their points. She was one of 
the sows selected by Mr. Hood for the special 
purpose of a nick with King Lee.

quartette, Manor Poem B., Pinnock's Pride, 
Lord Windsor, and Manor Poem M. It will 
also be noticed that she is out of the dam of 
this great quartette, Wantage Poetess B. She 
is undoubtedly the finest sow, and alf things con- 
sidered, perhaps the handsomest sow at Hood 
Farm. Her legs are very short and very strong, 
excellent hams, and head and shoulders, and a 
straight, level back. 

We have three sow pigs out of her by King- 
Lee, and we think they are three of the hand- 
somest pigs that were ever farrowed, and 
strongly indicates that she will prove a great 
nick with our Longfellow strain. 

She is also the dam of our brood sow, Saxon 
Lady, which gives her great character as a 
brood sow.

our great inbred May Duke sow, Illumination. 

She possesses all the great characteristics of 
the Berkshire breed. Long, level back, fine 
head, excellent hams, short, strong legs. In fact 
she is an ideal sow, and mated with our Long- 
fellow strain must produce great results.

Presentation, Imported. 

This is another daughter of the great sow,. 
Wantage Poetess B, the dam of Pinnock's Pride, 
Manor Poem B, Lord Windsor, and Manor Poem 
M. She also carries the strong blood of Lord 
Curzon and May Duke on top. She is a remark- 
ably line sow and of strong make up through- 
out, but has not the length of body of the

VASSAR, 2.07, HEAD OF THE 

Horse Department. 

PE2 While this department is small compared with the Jersey and Berkshire 
Departments, it will be noticed that it is intensely select. There is probably 
no handsomer, better bred or faster stallion than Vassar. He is a strongly 
made horse, with plenty of bone and substance, and a countenance that indi- 
cates a large brain and intelligence of the very highest order. He has a faster 
Tace record than any other stallion that ever stood for service in New England. 
He is full brother to Belle Vara, race record 2.08 3-4, and Light Hall (3), 
12.25 8-4, the sire of Sprague Light, record 2.20% (4). In addition to these 
his dam also produced Georgetta, 2.27, making her dam of four with records 
from 2.07 to 2.27. 

*T8 Vassar is inbred to both Eysdyk's Hambletonian and Mambrino Chief. 
Through the dam of his sire he gets the valuable American Star Cross and 
through his own dam he gets a close cross of the old four-mile race horse 
Lexington, whose name appears in pedigrees of Bvland T.. 2.07 3-4: Sunol, 
2.08 1-4; Jay-Eye-See, 2.10 (2.06 1-2 pacing), Delmarch. 2.11 1-2: Ansel. 2.20 
(sire of Answer), 2.14 1-4, and other fast campaigners. 

Vatican 2.29 1-4, sire of Vassar, 2.07, is by Belmont, the son of Alexander's 
Abdallah, who got Nutwood, 2.18 3-4, the greatest of living sires, and a host of 
other turf celebrities. The dam of Vatican was Vera, by Eysdyk's Hamble- 
tonian. out of Venus by Seeley's American Star. Vera is the second dam of 
Kremlin, 2.07 3-4; Evermond/2.24 1-4, and Erin, 2.24 3-4. 

Vassar, through both sire and dam, is bred in the very best trotting lines, 
such as have produced many of the world's most famous champions, to which he 
is closely related. His dam, Nell, is one of the greatest producers of extreme 
speed of her age that ever lived. 

It is predicted by good judges that Vassar will prove a very successful sire 
of uniform and extreme trotting speed, and that his get will mature young. 
This is a very important consideration to those who are breeding for profit. 

Service fee reduced to $50 for a few approved mares and a special price for 
five mares with records below 2.20 or which have produced one below 2.30.

Prologue. 

Large, well matured and highly developed filly, of racy conformation, rare 
gait and extreme speed, although never handled for speed; it is all natural, by 
right of possession and inheritance. One of the finest and sweetest fillies that 
was ever driven on the road; is perfectly fearless and always level-headed; is a 
very deep bay color, with heavy black points, one white ankle behind, star and 
blaze in face, up-headed, stylish, and certainly reminds one of the great Mam- 
brino King. Her height is 15-3 and her weight is 1000 lbs. This filly is cer- 
tainly a most extraordinary one from any standpoint; there are very few in the

Hood Farm Victories 




The Hood Farm Jerseys have never failed 
to win the principal prizes in whatever compe- 
tition they have entered. In the greatest dairy 
competition ever held, the World's Fair Dairy 
Tests at Chicago, 1893, Merry Maiden was the 
Champion Sweepstakes Cow of all three tests 
combined, and Brown Bessie was the winner 
of the 90 and 30 Days' Tests. Besides these, in 
the 90 Days' Test, Alteration stood third in net 
profit when she was taken sick; Islip Lenox 
was ninth in this test of the 75 competing, and 
Little Goldie, her stable companion, followed 
her closely, being' thirteenth. All these cows 
were the property of Hood Farm. Each one 
of these cows was not only a great butter- 
maker but also a great milker. Each one of 
them exceeded 40 lbs. in 24 hours in the Test, 
aud adhered very closely to 40 lbs. per day. 
throughout the Tests. 

Hood Farm holds with Signal's Lily Flagg 
31035 the Silver Challenge Cup for the greatest 
production of butter in a year, namely, 1047 
lbs. 3-4 oz. This cup is of solid silver and is 

valued at $250. Signal's Lily Flagg was barred from competition at the World's 

Fair Dairy Tests because of her great record, but remained there for exhibition. 
At the New England Fair of 1894 the Hood Farm Herd took every first prize 

it competed for, such an array of blue ribbons seldom being seen in the hands of 

one exhibitor. The premiums won were as follows : 

Bull, two years old, first and second prizes. Bull, one year old, first and second prizes. Bull 
calf, first and second prizes. Sweepstakes cow of any age, first, second and third. Heifer, two 
years and less than three, first and second. Heifer, one year old, first and third. Heifer calf, under 
one year, first. Herd, bull and four calves, first prize. 

At the New England Fair of 1895, held at Bigby Park, Portland, the Hood 
Farm Jerseys won eight first prizes and there were several sales of bull calves 
and heifers on the spot, so eager were some of the breeders who were present to 
enrich their herds with selections from the famous Hood Farm Herd. The fol- 
lowing prizes were won : 

On herd, first prize. Bull and two of his get, second prize. Bull, two years old, first prize. 
Bull, one year old, first prize. Bull calf, first prize. Cows four years old and over, first and third 
prizes. Cows three years old, second prize. Heifers two years old, first prize. Heifers one year 
old, first and third prizes. Heifer calves, first prize. 

At the request of 
the Trustees of the Mid- 
dlesex North Agricul- 
tural Society, in whose 
district Lowell is locat- 
ed, we have exhibited 
the Hood Farm Jerseys 
at the fairs of this Socie- 
ty for the past three or 
four years, not in com- 
petition. As a token of 
their appreciation of our 
exhibit the Trustees have presented Mr. Hood a beautiful and-costly gold medal, 
inscribed as shown on the engravings herewith.

Hood's Sarsaparilla ^Laboratory, Lowell, Mass. 
C I. Hood & Co., Proprietors. 



It^s impossible in the limits of this page to give a detailed description of our 
Laboratory, but a few facts will be of interest. 

Hood's Sarsaparilla Laboratory is the Largest Building in the World, de- 
voted Exclusively to the Proprietary Medicine Business. It is of brick, four 
stories high, 409 feet long, and average Width 65 feet, besides Annex 150x50 
feet, and smaller wings, etc., giving a total floor area of over 175,000 square feet. 
In the 18 tanks in which Hood's Sarsaparilla is prepared we have a capacity 
of 420,000 bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla, or enough to load 54 long freight cars. 

In the Printing Press room there arc 14 Printing Machines, 12 of which are 
for fine job work, such as Cook Books, Puzzles, Posters, etc.. of which millions 
are printed in a year. There are two Newspaper Presses, capable of producing 
250,000 papers per day, and one mammoth multi-color Printing Machine, espe- 
cially built for us. These three large machines consume a stream of white paper 
35 inches wide at the rate of fifteen miles an hour — enough in twenty days to 
reach across the Atlantic Ocean, and sufficient in fifty -five days to girdle the 
earth. This is in addition to the consumption of white and colored paper by the 
other Presses, which quantity it is difficult to estimate and which amounts to 
thousands of miles in a year. 

This mammoth building is a monument to Merit, as it owes its existence to 
the unprecedented ^ccess of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Without Merit no article can 
stand for any length of time before the acute discernment of the people. And 
no medicine has ever so firmly won and so steadfastly held the people's confi- 
dence as has Hood's Sarsaparilla. 

This popular medicine has not only 

The Largest Laboratory in the World, but 

Hood's Sarsaparilla has accomplished the greatest number of Wonderful 
Cures of any Medicine in the World, and 

Hood's Sarsaparilla has the Largest Sale of any Medicine in the World. 

If you are in need of a good Blood-Purifying, Nerve-Strengthening, Build- 
ing-Up Medicine, take Hood's Sarsaparilla; it will do you good. Be sure to 
get Hood's and only Hood's.
